Number of edits today

Hello 9000, and welcome to the wiki! You've made multiple edits today, and most of them seem to be in good faith, but you are creating a bit of chaos. When you create blank pages, or pages with only a spoiler tag, that's considered vandalism. Changes to templates, including creating new ones, requires discussion first, since template changes affect 12 languages.

If you haven't done so, please read Help:Editing for more information. Perhaps you would slow down a bit, and double check the facts you're adding to the wiki, and be sure capitalization and punctuation are correct before saving changes.

I do understand that you probably mean well, and are trying to improve the wiki, and that is appreciated. Read the help page, take a breath, and make sure your edits are good ones, alright? Thanks for your cooperation! margotbean (talk) 21:03, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

I see that you have not heeded my advice, and are still adding incorrect information to the wiki. Please stop, adding incorrect information is of no help to anyone. I don't want to give you a time-out, but continuing these types of edits will unfortunately warrant it.

A good rule for changing established information is to add a code reference. For example, radioactive nodes cannot spawn on mine floors that are a multiple of 5, whether there is an elevator or not. If you have found this to be incorrect, cite the code that controls the behavior.

Please heed my advice this time! margotbean (talk) 22:23, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

Margot, you were supposed to empty your Talk Page at the start of this year, somebody gave out a new topic on your page yesterday, when you empty the page, automatically add the topic in the Archive of 2024. 9000 (talk) 5:54, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

I've been a little preoccupied, but thanks for the reminder! margotbean (talk) 19:45, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Margot, you were supposed to protect editing from other users on your archived pages, you did that for 2021 and 2022, but not for 2023. You need to change this to lock editing on the archived pages. 9000 (talk) 4:44, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Mining Nodes

Thanks for your note. I'm afraid I'm unable to help with that project.

I'd forgotten about the tables on my page. I copied them from the wiki itself some considerable time ago after the entire wiki was moved (rehosted), amidst other changes. For a while, both sites were available for reference. But the tables were "permanently" removed at the new site, for what reasons I cannot remember. I, however, wanted the info, and made a copy onto my own page.

I'm afraid I have no idea how the information was collected then, nor where to look for any changes since its time. I note that there is nothing related to the Volcano Dungeon on Ginger Island, so I suppose everything predates v1.5. I've never looked at the source code, don't have a copy of it, and while I once was a software engineer, I've withdrawn from any such activity since. So, thanks for the offer, but I am content to correct errors that I encounter in play, and to improve the language on the wiki, as things come to my notice.

That's perfectly fine with us, but it is something missing due to you creating these tables before the release of v1.5. 9000 (talk) 5:52, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

But as I told you, I did not create those tables. I copied them - made a copy for myself, on my talk page. You're free to copy them for yourself, if you wish, so nothing is missing. If you intend to install them back into an article, you will have to take that up with those who removed them in the first place. You might ask Margotbean if she remembers who that was. I don't. Is that peachy keen "perfectly fine"? Giles (talk) 18:35, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

I added that text back because I couldn't think of anything else to say, and I don't know if Margot knows about who made the mining tables. 9000 (talk) 6:02, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Shouty caps

Hello 9000! When you comment to an edit in ALL CAPS, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE YELLING. Can you please stop doing that? Once in a while to get the point across is fine, but every edit? Please reconsider. Thanks, margotbean (talk) 19:59, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

I only did this because I was ANGRY at people not adding periods to a paragraph (e.g. "on a non-rainy day" should be "on a non-rainy day."). This line was from the 14 Heart cutscene, from the Krobus page. And in the Foraging Talk Page, you mentioned that English is not my first language, I only mentioned it because I didn't know that "Wood being worth 50% more" was in the Wiki until now. 9000 (talk) 6:32, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

Singular Links

Noting your recent edit comment, I would have to say a word of caution. In my opinion, a link ought to be to the main title of an article. If the article's name is plural, that should be used; if singular, that should be used. The wiki does provide some support for redirection of a plural to the singular-titled article, but using that redirection in a link makes the wiki less robust, because if the redirection were ever changed or removed, the link would no longer work, whereas that cannot be a problem with an article name. The pluralized article name, such as you have noticed it, would, however, be preserved and function as before. It's a nit, perhaps, but as an engineer I encountered more than my share of such noisome little oversights in code. It's a waste of maintenance time and effort, sometimes outsized in its effect. One never wants a change to break what shouldn't have been broken if a little foresight is used. Giles (talk) 16:45, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
